next years defense really concerns me

the possibility of who we could lose is almost disheartening. to once again lose our best interior DL and our best cover corner and safety along with our top 3 defensive ends and our best LB is gonna make it damn tough to win the SEC.
it looks like our O will improve greatly and we should score many more points to help out the remaining babies on the D.
man, these guys returning (most of them anyway) would put us squarely as a NC contender.

As long as chavis is here im not overly concerned w the D. We will just reload. And i dont think its likely logan, simon, or minter are going anywhere.

Logan probably isn't going pro.

Ditto for Simon.

our best LB
And Minter.
Why do you assume these three guys will go? Reid, Montgomery, and probably Mingo are gone. The rest are coming back.

The only unit I'd be concerned about is the DLine with the inexperience and depth. The LB core and secondary will both be top notch

Bennie Logan is not our best interior DL.

Tharold Simon is not our best cover corner.

Given that only 1 out of 7 players you reference is a senior, we aren't going to lose them all. That very rarely happens where every draft eligible junior leaves.

remaining babies on the D
Not exactly "babies". Barrow, Alexander, Mills, Collins, Loston, Martin, Eugene, Ferguson, Tahj Jones, and Rasco, had plenty of playing time this year

Rasco and Hunter will man the DE spots. They are big and athletic and will fly to the ball. The interior line will be awesome. Nobody will run against our D next year.
The linebackers and secondary will go from weakness to strength, as all the youngsters we played this year will have more experience.
True, we will miss having an elite safety like Reid. The staff is currently searching for another player like him. Jeremy Cutrer could be that guy. Alternatively, look for a converted corner to step up.
Considering we brought in 3 corners last class (Thomas, Raymond, Holmes) and we are bringing in 4 (or more) this class (White, Jefferson, Brazil, Robinson), I would expect one or more to switch to S. Thomas, Jefferson, and Robinson are all good candidates. Each has a rangy frame and could add some bulk.

We've done this before and surprisingly we've come back as strong as ever

Your lack of faith concerns me, LSU GrandDad
Posted on 12/13/12 at 4:14 pm to LSU GrandDad
Everyone was concerned when we lost Nevis, Sheppard, and PP and we had one of the top defenses in the country last year. We also had one of the top defenses in the country this year, but after the Bama game we sort of lost the wind in out seasons sails
Posted on 12/13/12 at 4:21 pm to LSU GrandDad
Outside of Montgomery, I'm really not concerned. Mingo was very inconsistent all season long, and Reid while a solid player, also took a lot of chances. If anything, I'm more excited for this defense.
Posted on 12/13/12 at 4:23 pm to LSU GrandDad
Thanks for your opinion LSU GrandDad.

Our personnel does not concern me.
The only thing that concerns me next year is
at Alabama and at Georgia. At Ole Miss and at State will be no slouches either.
Florida, Auburn, Arkansas and A&M are all at home, and hopefully 2 or 3 of them will be at night.

While I will admit the numbers are scary, we had the same issue in 2010. We lost PP7, Kelvin Shep and Nevis and the 2011 defense was better. A few guys stepped up at the end of 2010 like Reid, Simon, etc. I am hoping if all of the below leave, guys will step up.
Mingo-Hunter
Sam-Rasco
Logan-Freak
Minter-?
Reid-Martin
Simon-Collins/Mills

Every single year people wonder how X will ever fill the spot of Y who went pro.
And every year, X steps up and does very well.
LSU just reloads.

Probably at least one of those guys will stay
Also, we have our best cover corner for two more years.
